Summary
During the last two days, we have practiced and proclaimed the gospel to our community. Both Love Day and Freedom Celebration were outward expressions of the good news about Jesus Christ loving the world. But why not make it a lifestyle that continues year-round? Today we will explore four reasons Paul the apostle was not ashamed of the gospel.
I. Because It’s Good News
II. Because It’s God’s Power
III. Because It’s Given Freely
IV. Because It Gets Us Right
Talk with God: Meditate on “the righteousness of God” (v. 17) and spend time in worship as you thank Him for the salvation and freedom He’s given you through His
Son’s sacrifice.
Talk with others: Come alongside a believing friend or family member facing sorrow or difficulty this week and encourage them to rest in God’s grace and continue to “live by faith” (v. 17).
Talk with kids: Why is Jesus the perfect and final sacrifice for sin?

| 1:00.1 | When I was first saved, a long time ago, |
| 1:02.3 | I wanted to share my faith, |
| 1:06.7 | but I was a little bit scared on how to do that. |
| 1:10.2 | Like my grandson, I didn't know how I'm going to just walk up to somebody and have a conversation. |
| 1:11.6 | So I wanted to engage in evangelism, but I was afraid to just talk to people. |
| 1:19.6 | So I bought a bumper sticker. |
| 1:23.6 | And I put it on my car, and that advertised to drivers on the road in Southern California that |
| 1:29.6 | I belong to Jesus. |
| 1:32.1 | And then I thought, I better take the second step. |
| 1:35.9 | And so I bought a t-shirt. |
